I appreciate you stopping in, Michelle. Sometimes it’s hardest to share the things that touch us the deepest.

Yes, you do know, Mary. I’m sorry we have to share that bond, but I’m glad we finally realized it and were able to learn about each other’s baby. Hugs back to you!

Oh, Linda. My heart goes out to women who wanted children and never got them. I related far more after I lost Kali than I did before. Your pain is very real too.

I’m sorry about the loss of your nephew and the pain that your sister must still carry. I know everyone grieves differently so I pray for her continued healing and for your support of her. Some scars we carry with us a lifetime.

Even when we don’t walk the same road, we still relate because we all know pain. Life does bring hurts along with it, but yes, time will eventually end and those hurts will end along with it. Thanks, Jerralea.

No loss is easy, regardless of the age of the person. We lose either memories yet to be made, or we lose the person with whom we did have those memories. And sometimes all the losses get jumbled up together when we grieve. I find that I really miss my parents on Kali’s birthday as well. They are all buried in the same cemetery so we visit all on this day. Thanks for your prayers, Barbara.

I appreciate you, Floyd. No, this isn’t the garden, but we know it is ahead! We have seen some purpose even now, but the joy to come will outweigh it all.

From watching my own mother, I know that grandmothers have a double loss–watching your own child grieve as well as grieving for your grandchild. I’m sure you were/are a solace to your daughter, Dianna.
